Walmart Says It's Raising Prices Because of Trump's Tariffs

[beagle9]

Prices here seem pretty OK. Gas prices down. Food prices down. Gov. spending down. Trillions coming into the country for a change. Border invasion down. Crime down. And I buy mostly American anyway. Life is good.

We just need to focus on fixing things that were broken for many year's now. Social security is a big one (seniors being screwed over after giving it their all), and Healthcare is another big one still.

We need to be more innovative all the way down to the simplist of job's or task. I see many many things that can be improved upon.

Yeah, cutting the budget can result in economic harm.

Cut Medicaid and next thing you know hospitals in a rural community closes which results in lots of lost jobs.

Cut USAID and the humanitarian aid contracts dry up which are largely sourced domestically.

Cut federal loan programs and investment in risky energy projects disappears.

Not that it shouldn’t happen because we have a lot of debt. I think we should cut spending and raise taxes to close the deficit. That’s going to negatively affect the economy but we don’t have a lot of choice.

My main point is that Trump didn’t do that. He cut taxes, increased spending and deficits ballooned.

And he STILL had pretty only modest economic growth.

Cut Medicaid and next thing you know hospitals in a rural community closes which results in lots of lost jobs.

The same thing happens when a bunch of illegal aliens use a hospital and don't pay.

Cut USAID and the humanitarian aid contracts dry up which are largely sourced domestically.

Imagine if they got jobs that actually added to GDP.

Cut federal loan programs and investment in risky energy projects disappears.

Wasting less money on more expensive, less reliable green energy idiocy is a good thing.

If Walmart announced it's bottom wage was $22 per hour is might step in there. Paying $16 per hour wont cut it for american workers.

There's zero need to cut Medicare for citizens. Pretty easy call. Cut waste and put the money back into to the program.

You got exploited.

After we cut it for illegal aliens, we'll see.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

You got exploited.

How much did you pay your employees?

 

[toobfreak]

You got exploited.

Nope, that was decent money then. Kids now are overpaid for menial work.

How much did you pay your employees?

How much did you pay your employees?

We are referring to Walmart. I'd like to see their prices rise nicely so american workers get paid better. america First.

Before you retired, how much did you pay your employees?

If the employees received every dollar that currently goes to taxes and investors, how much would their paychecks increase?

I only had 6 employees. Back in the 90s only $30 per hour plus full health insurance. Then I sold the company to my son.

Well then cut off investors. Taxes not a huge issue

OK.
